Question

Meg Tim and John are playing a game Make has six times as many points as Tim John has 54 more points than him Meg has 18 points how many points does John have

Answer 1

Let's break down the information given in the problem step by step.

1. Let’s denote:
- Meg's points as \( M \)
- Tim's points as \( T \)
- John's points as \( J \)

2. According to the problem:
- Meg has 18 points:
\( M = 18 \)

3. We know Meg has six times as many points as Tim:
\( M = 6T \)

Substituting Meg's points:
\[
18 = 6T
\]

To find Tim's points (\( T \)):
\[
T = \frac{18}{6} = 3
\]

4. John has 54 more points than Tim:
\[
J = T + 54
\]

Substituting Tim's points:
\[
J = 3 + 54 = 57
\]

Thus, John has **57 points**.
